Ionic Polymerization: (No. 157 Macromolecular Symposia)

The International Symposium on Ionic Polymerization (IP'99) was held in Kyoto, Japan, July 1999. The symposium was sponsored by IUPAC, the Chemical Society of Japan, The Society of Polymer Science, Japan, The Society of Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan and Japan Chemical Innovation Institute. The research areas covered were directed to the traditional fields of cationic-, anionic- and ring-opening polymerization, as well as polymer synthesis, including radical-, metal catalyzed-, polycondensation-, and enzymatic polymerization, and new polymer architecture. The papers within this volume of Macromolecular Symposia cover a broad range of topics representative of the symposium.
